Reflect on Your Journey Together
Before you put pen to paper, take a moment to reflect on your relationship. What memories define your story? What qualities do you admire most about your partner? Think about the small details that make your connection special—those are often the most meaningful elements to include.
Make Promises That Matter
Your vows are more than just romantic words—they’re a promise. Consider what you want to commit to in your marriage. Whether it’s unwavering support, shared laughter, or growing together through life’s challenges, be intentional and sincere. Keep your vows simple, genuine, and clear.
Keep It Concise and Heartfelt
While it’s tempting to write an epic love letter, the most impactful vows are usually one to two minutes long. Focus on clarity and tone. Avoid overused phrases and speak from the heart. If you’re nervous, write like you’re talking directly to your partner—it’ll feel more natural when read aloud.
